history OFF CARGO

In the year 149S, Just ten months and
two days after leaving the port of Lis
bon, Vasco da Cana landed on the
coast of Malabar, at Calicut, or more
properly Kale Rhode, City of the Black
Goddess. Calicut was at that period
not only very ancient seaport but an
extensive territory, which, stretching
along the western coast of Southern
India, reached from Bombay and the
adjacent islands to Cape Comorin. It
was at an early period SO famous for its
weaving and dyeing of cotton cloth
that its name became identified with
the manufactured fabric, whence the
name calico. It is now generally ad-
lnitted that this ingenious art originated
in India in very remote ages and from
that country found its way into Egypt.
1t was not until toward the middle OF
the seventeenth century that calico
| printing was introduced into Europe.
A knowledge of the art was acquired. by
some of the servants in tho service OF
the Dutch East India Company and
carried to Holland, whence it was intro
duced in London in the year 1876

Aeoey's 1mportan. Engagement.

Those persons who imagine that
Henry L. Abbey has exhausted the
foreign market for theatrical attrac-
tions, and that after Bernhard and
Patti there was nothing left for him to
introduce to this country in the way of
great novelties, are wofully mistaken
Mr.. Abbey has for long time had his
eye fixed upon two French dramatic
artists, both of whom have made con-
siderable noise in the theatrical world,
and both of whom are now authorita-
lively announced as having engaged for
an extended American and South
American tour. The first of these is
Coquelin, the elder, whose quarrel
with the directory of the Theater Fran
Gals and sudden departure from the
company of that famous house have
been heralded from one end of the
world to the other, and which were
deemed of so great national importance
in France that the Government took a
hand in the excitement which followed
! the comedians resignation. Coque-

Mary An,ong the Scotch.

Miss Mary Anderson has had her
first experience of Students night"
at the Edinburg Lyceum Theater. This
means triumphant rowdyism, complete
interruption OF the performance on the
stage, by guying the company, and gen
eral disgrace to the town where such
blaclkguardism is permitted. Unaccus-
toned to such noisy demonstrations,
several of the actresses burst into tears,
and Miss Anderson had to demonstrate
with the rioters before the play was al
lowed to proceed. 1t appears that the
lady had incurred the displeasure of
the students by politely refusing TO dis
tribute the prizes at their athletic
meeting, on the ground that her time
was occupied with rehearsals of "a
Winters Tale" The youths couldn't
see the force Of this straightforward ex-
cuse, and determined to give the popu-
lar actress what they called "warm
reception" 1t seems their manners
have been destroyed by Nine. Marie
Roze, who sings to them and makes a
general fuss over them on her visits to
Edinburg. Their recent conduct
proves the students to be neither stu.
dents of politeness nor gentlemen, de-
spite the tardy apology they rendered
Miss Anderson for the disgraceful
scenes of Friday night. The press let
them have it; but Miss Anderson says
she. never reads press notices" II
good they might make her vain; if bad
they would only cause her annoyance.

lin, like Sarah Bernhardt after her
break with the Francais, has fallen into
the hands of Mr.. Abbey, and has made
an engagement to travel under the
management of Abbey, Schceffel &
Grau for term of years. He will
make his first appearance under the
new management in London next Octo-
ber, and after playing an engagement
in that city will come to New York, ac-
companied by select company of
French artists, and appear in this city
some time in December, after the clos
ing of Mr.. Irving's engagement.
The other engagement made by Mr..
Abbey is with Jane Hading, the cele-
brated French actress, who, since
Bernhardt's departure from France,
has takeh her place in the estimation
of the French theatrical world. The
arrangements for this lady's tour have
not yet been perfected, but it is settled
that she will not be introduced to this
country until after Coquelin has made
his appearance and is we'll on his tour
throughout the country.-Ne,o York

DIR. Franz Boas, who visited the Indian
lribes of British Columbia in the autumn of
1856, has presented in a preliminary report
'ome of the results of his journey. The
arge wooden huts of these tribes, their ca
noes, their fishing gear, and hunting meth
ods have often been described, but DR..
Boas points out that their traditions, re-
ligious ideas, and social organization are
not equally well known. The principal
figure of the mythology of several of them
is n raven, who created all things, not for
the benefit of mankind, but IN order TO "re-
venge himself" Cannibal,sm is practiced
by some tribes in connection with the win
ter dances; and there is Kwakiutl tradi-
ton to the effect that one of their ancestors
descended from heaven, wearing ring of
red cedar bark, and taught the people the
cannibal ceremonies. These ceremonies
have been adopted only in part by the
Qomoks, who content themselves with eat
ing artificial bodies, which they prepare
"by sewing dried halibut to human skel-
eton." Among the Tsimpshian, the Tlintgit,
and the Haida children belong to the moth
er's gems; among the Kwakiutl and Selfish
tribes they belong to the gems of the father.
In some tribes there are us many as from
fifteen to twenty gentes. Members of the
same gems are not allowed TO inter- marry.

The "yyt,d 1pest" in London


One of the most fashionable enter
tainments of the season is the American
Exhibition, which is so utterly novel to
Londoners that it attracts all classes,
high and low. The opening day was
we'll attended, such crowd of carriages
filling up West Brompton as must have
astonished that not very aristocratic
vicinage. The opening ceremony was
inaudible and invisible to the great ma
iority of those present, only q favored
few being near enough to hear and see,
says writer in London Society.
Among the crowd 1 noticed Cardinal
Manning, looking on with curiosity at
phases of life so different from his
own. Buffalo Bill was the center of
attraction.
For an hour or so during the after
noon he stood at the entrance, receiv-
ing those whom he knew, while group
of immense stuffed buffaloes behind
him looked as though they had formed
themselves into reception committee.
His garments have much picturesque
ness, partly arising from their perfect
suitability to his mode of life. On
horseback, and especially from a back
view, he looks like medieval knight,
his long hair aiding the resemblance.
But when he puts his hat on, the like
ness ceases. 1t is a large felt sombrero,
not without picturesqueness of its
own, especially when he doffs it with q
free sweep Of the arm that recalls the
liberal courtesy of q former age.
When all were assembled and seated
around the immense arena the effect Of
SO many thousands massed together in
the amphitheater was q marvellous one.
The eye looked along a vast mosaic Of
faces, those at a distance appearing te
| be so close together as to admit of be-
ing walked upon. 1t was curious
thing, when cries of "Sit down." were
heard, to see thousands of distant small
| specks suddenly sink to level witt
the thousands of colored specks tha
represented far-away bonnets ant
dresses. The spectators were in {
sense quite as interesting as the spec
tacle. At every turn one saw we'll
known face Celebrities came so fas
on one another's footsteps that those
who looked had scarcely time to mari
each off on memory's notebook. II

When a man breaks down in tho matter OF

depends in great measure upon the length Of

best auxiliary he can employ. and he should
resort to it promptly. The most reliable de-
